Properties other buyers can't touch.

The more complex the issue, the more likely we're the right buyer. Nothing puts us off.

// 01

Structural issues

Subsidence, wall tie failure, cracked lintels — we buy properties with structural defects that cause mortgage lenders to decline.

// 02

Short lease

Below 70 years remaining and mortgage lenders won't touch it. We buy short lease properties across Greater Manchester.

// 03

Damp and flood risk

Rising damp, penetrating damp, or properties in flood zones. We assess the position and make a realistic offer based on the actual situation.

// 04

Non-standard construction

Concrete, steel frame, timber frame, prefab — if standard lenders won't mortgage it, we'll buy it. Any construction type considered.

Common questions

Unmortgageable properties — your questions answered.

What makes a property unmortgageable?
Common reasons include structural issues (subsidence, wall tie failure), short lease (below 70 years), damp or flooding risk, non-standard construction (concrete, timber frame), and properties that have failed a mortgage survey. We buy all of these.
Do you buy properties with short leases?
Yes. We buy leasehold properties with short leases that mortgage lenders won't touch — including those below 70 years remaining.
Do I need to fix anything before selling?
No. We buy in any condition, with any defects. No repairs, no surveys, no remediation required before sale.
How quickly can you buy an unmortgageable property?
We can make a cash offer within 24 hours and complete in as little as 28 days. No mortgage lender to slow things down.
What areas of Greater Manchester do you cover?
We buy across M, BL, OL, SK, WA and WN postcodes. Get in touch even if you're just outside these areas.
